Relieve Pain and Restore Healthy Movement
Joint injections are minimally invasive treatments that relieve pain and inflammation in areas such as the knees, hips, or shoulders. At Aesthetic Envy, Dr. Gosal provides these targeted injections, delivering anti-inflammatory or regenerative substances such as corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or platelet-rich plasma into the affected joint. This helps reduce swelling, improve lubrication, and support the healing process. Whether you’re struggling with arthritis, injury, or overuse, joint injections can help you move comfortably and enjoy a more active lifestyle again.
Joint Injections Treat:
- Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint pain
- Tendonitis and soft tissue inflammation
- Pain or stiffness from joint injury or overuse
- Swelling and limited mobility in the knees, hips, or shoulders
- Chronic discomfort caused by poor biomechanics or stress
The Working of Joint Injections
Joint injections work by delivering targeted medications or biologic substances into the joint capsule, where inflammation originates. Aesthetic Envy offers PRP injections in Sacramento for individuals seeking to enhance their body’s natural healing process. Unlike oral medications that circulate throughout the body, these treatments target areas of need, helping to reduce inflammation, restore lubrication, and promote tissue healing. Your joint injections may include one or more of the following substances:
Corticosteroids
Corticosteroid injections combine anti-inflammatory medication with a local anesthetic to quickly reduce swelling and irritation inside the joint. By blocking the release of inflammatory chemicals, these injections provide fast pain relief and restore comfort for several weeks or even months. They are often used for arthritis or tendonitis, where inflammation plays a key role in joint pain.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in joint fluid that acts as a lubricant and shock absorber. Over time, this fluid can break down, leading to stiffness. Injecting hyaluronic acid into the joint replenishes this vital cushioning, allowing smoother movement and reduced friction. This treatment is particularly effective for knee arthritis, helping to restore joint flexibility.
Regenerative Therapies
Regenerative injections, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or placental tissue matrix (PTM), harness the body’s own healing potential. Dr. Gosal has extensive experience administering PTM and PRP injections in Sacramento. PRP uses concentrated platelets from your blood to stimulate tissue repair and collagen formation, while PTM contains growth factors and stem cells that encourage regeneration. Together, these therapies reduce inflammation, repair damaged tissues, and improve long-term joint health without relying on steroids.

Joint Injections FAQs
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, including preparation and recovery. The injection itself only takes a few minutes, but additional time is allowed for numbing, imaging guidance, and post-procedure observation.
How Soon Will I Feel Relief After a Joint Injection?
Relief can vary depending on the type of injection. Corticosteroid injections often reduce pain within a few days, while hyaluronic acid or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections may take one to two weeks or more to show results as the healing process begins.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Pain relief can last anywhere from several weeks to several months, depending on your specific condition, activity level, and the type of injection used. Regenerative treatments, such as PRP, may continue to improve results over time as your tissues heal.
Can I Resume My Normal Activities After the Procedure?
Most people can return to light activities the same day and resume their normal routine within 24 hours. However, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for a few days to allow the joint to rest and respond to treatment.
